FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE

• Thomas Friedman, The World is Flat--We learned in a static world; our students are entering a very different world that will require continuous learning, creativity, working with people who are different from us, developing new understanding in a highly complex world.
  • Read Doug Johnson's response to Friedman's book as a scenario of what could happen to school libraries
  • Johnson, Doug. "Letter from the Flat World Library Corporation." The Blue Skunk Blog. 7 Oct. 2007. Web. 13 Aug. 2010. <http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2005/10/7/letter-from-the-flat-world-library-corporation2.html>.
    
    
• Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind--Argues that we need to teach our students to design, tell stories, function in a group like a symphony, empathize, play to create, and build new meaning. This is not the factory model, because that can be outsourced to China and India
  
  
• Linda Darling-Hammond, Voices in Urban Education--How can we ensure that all kids succeed? How can we erase the achievement gaps between rich and poor, privileged and deprived, native and immigrant populations? Finland has accomplished this.
